That would be their tactics if they still had hold of her - and she knew it which is why she would have had a crack team of bodyguards waiting on the outside when she slipped her Scientology minders.I wouldn't like to be in their shoes right now. They are almost certainly in 'The Hole' where they'll spend the rest of their miserable lives being punchbags for David Miscavige.

All religions have cult-like aspects to them, but $cientology is as close as you're going to get to the Peoples' Temple, Grape Flavor-Aid not included. Everything I've ever heard or read about them scares the shiat out of me. When I left the Catholic Church, I didn't see priests in SUVs tailing me, going through my garbage, or threatening me with guns. Anything I had said to a priest in confession, the rare times I went, wasn't held over my head by the cardinal of the diocese as blackmail. I just left, and that was that. Try and leave these wackjobs, and you'll wish you'd never been born.

Catholics take the secrecy of Confession pretty damn seriously.

FTFA: "When Father Timothy Mockaitis heard inmate Conan Wayne Hale's sacramental confession on April 22, 1996, he had no idea it was being recorded."

Some things are sacred, and that's one of them. Priests do not play favorites when it comes to Confession, which is why Confession is so important and so powerful. Nobody gets to bribe their way into a priest's confidences on that one, the Innocent and the Guilty are treated the same, the poor and the rich, the popular and the scapegoats, the beloved and the hated.

Yes, this is one the Catholic Church got right. It's more sacred than Guest Law and a little more sacred than Sanctuary. State was in the wrong. State plays favorites with shiat like that. Not the Church.

If the State wanted to secretly record shiat, they needed to find another way to do it.

/is it Kosher for the State to send agents pretending to be Priests in, and since they aren't real Priests, they aren't bound by sacred duty?.
